22nd Knot - The Red String

22nd Knot

This month I talk about internet browsing. I rant about the common mistake people seem to be making these days, and introduce you to a bunch of artistic projects I discovered over Christmas and the New year: many of them involving other members of DeviantArt (which I talked about last month). (January 2013)

Time's End

Another project which caught my attention, was Time's End [http://www.terriblefate.com/] by Theophany [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Theophany/213415812041455]. Now for me, this was all about the incredibly thematic release modelled after The Legend of Zelda game: Majora's Mask [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_

The Final Countdown

The Final Countdown

From our old friend Andrew [https://theredstringblog.com/songs-to-wear-pants-to] of Songs To Wear Pants To [https://www.youtube.com/user/songstowearpantsto], came the album The Final Countdow: A series of covers to an original song [https://youtu.be/9jK-NcRmVcw] of the same title release by Europe in 1986.

Sugabelly is a Nigerian blogger and illustrator according to her website, and Jigida Comics is her sole proprietorship

Kuluya.com

Kuluya.com is a website that seems to be a Nigerian spin onNewgrounds.com [http://www.newgrounds.com/]. It's fairly new, but already provides a home to several original flash-based Nigerian games. From games like "Okada [http://kuluya.com/games/okada/]" where you drive a motorcycle taxi, to others like

Deviant Explorations

Deviant Explorations

Last month, I introduced you all to DeviantArt [https://www.deviantart.com/], and I briefly talked about how much I like it, and how addicted I have become to it. I mentioned how beneficial I feel it is to me as a writer, and how much my writing has increased

The World Wide Web

The World Wide Web

Ever since we acquired the ability to easily and instantly share our lives with others over the Internet, there have been stories of inappropriate and mistaken sharing. From harmless cases like that of Randi Zuckerberg [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/26/randi-zuckerberg-photo_n_2365801.html] , to those with grevious
